Is it possible to upgrade symbian to android. Hacked Symbian Anna firmware for Nokia N8. Dead mode flashing or bringing a dead smartphone back to life

Working method, I stitched it myself, if you did something wrong, it's only your fault.
To start, download needed software .Firmware necessary pick up very neatly, otherwise you will make the "corpse" of the phone, which is not so easy to recover. We will flash it using "Lite Modification 7.1" for Nokia 5228 as an example. Jaf is suitable for any Nokia phones. If you have another phone, write it in the comments, I will select the firmware for you.
Before stitching, find out the firmware version and RM code, you can easily find it out by dialing * # 0000 #, there you will find the version and code, by default on 5228 - RM-625, version 51.1.002. Never downgrade the firmware, otherwise you will simply "kill" the phone ... If RM is different, then let the settings be different, only the code will change.
After everyone knew prepare a memory card, delete the folders (patches, installs, private, resource, sys, system) the same way, you can format. When flashing, it is desirable that the memory card is in the phone. This is not necessary, but it is advisable to do a full reset of all settings, how to do this, look at this video... Disable Nokia programs (Nokia Suite). That's it, now we install the program for the firmware.
1. We go to the "JAF installer" folder, launch the application, it is important that the folder path should be located where the operating system is installed, in my case, like this: "C: \ Program Files \ ODEON \ JAF"
2. Go to the "Registry Keys" folder, add two files to the registry.

3. In the folder "INI file of phone models", move the file "jaf_nok4models" to the folder where you installed Jaf, in my case like this: C: \ Program Files \ ODEON \ JAF, when moving, we agree to a replacement. In this file you can find your phone and RM - code.


4. Installing the driver"Flashing Cable Driver". It should be on your desktop.

5.Install the firmware on the PC, the path must be in the drive where the OS is installed, for Windows owners, the path must be "C: \ Program Files \ Nokia \ Phoenix \ Products \ RM-625", I have not tested it on other OS.


6. On the Start Jaf shortcut, right-click and select "Fix compatibility issues", after detecting problems, select "Use recommended parameters".


Right-click on the Jaf shortcut, go to the properties and the "Compatibility" section, put a tick to run the program in this compatibility mode, and select Windows XP (SP 3).


That's it, you can run the program. Disconnect the phone and connect the USB cable to the motherboard on the back.

Now run Jaf, choose Random PKEY Thomas SN and press START.


After Jaf Reedit opens, from tabs DCT4 go to BB5... The four bulbs should be dark green, check the boxes as in the screenshot.


Press FLASH and choose your phone, I have Nokia 5228 and code RM-625, the names do not always correspond to the code.
If done correctly, the paws should light up bright green.
Click again on FLASH, a warning will pop up that if you downgrade the firmware version, you will kill the phone, click and the firmware will occur.


After clicking yes, turn on the phone until the white screen lights up.
We look at the firmware status, if the phone is not found, close the program and repeat the procedure again.
Now all that remains is to wait until the firmware is downloaded to the phone, if all goes well, should be written in the end Done!


After that telephone enters Local Mode, it is important to wait until it reboots, we don’t do anything in this mode, we wait a maximum of 20 minutes and after that it will turn on.


Leave your questions, we will also select the firmware for your version and code.




Neither THE AUTHOR OF THE ARTICLE OR THE SITE ADMINISTRATION SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY IN THE INPUT OF THE REQUEST. EVERYTHING YOU HAVE TO DO AT YOUR OWN RISK
Ask yourself a question ... DO YOU NEED IT?

For many years the owners of Nokia phones could not understand why users of Siemens, Motorolls and other smartphones can reflash their device at home, but they cannot. It was necessary to buy special boxes (flashers) and only with their help carry out a flashing. Or go to the SC. (Service center)

But now the ice has broken ... Nokia decided to please its fans and allowed users to flash smartphones BB5 and higher (everything from 6630, 6680/1, 6270 (not smart), 3250, N70, N90 (and other N-series phones except Ngage), E series smartphones) at home without special equipment. The standard cable supplied (DKU-2) is enough

First, we need to find out what version of the firmware is in your phone. To do this, dial * # 0000 # in standby mode and you will see the firmware version on the screen.

If your firmware is outdated, then you need to look for a new one. Usually, the firmware is taken from the websites of flasher manufacturers (each client receives his own login password). Some sites give you the opportunity to download the firmware for a fee. We, as always, give everything for free :)

Before downloading it and starting the flashing, I advise you to go to and ask the users if it is worth reflashing at all, what problems have appeared, what problems have gone away, etc. Please note that you YOU CANNOT return the OLD FIRMWARE! The firmware number can only rise. If you try to flash your phone with an older firmware, then he will die and then you have a direct road to the service center. Most likely SC will refuse to you warranty repair and agree to fix it only for money.

If, despite the fear and risk of "killing" the phone, you still decided to reflash, then let's get started.
1. If the program is installed on your computer PC Suite, then uninstall it.

2. Download the following files:

2.1 Find and download the firmware for your smartphone.

2.5a If you have 6630, 6680, 6681 then download

2.5b If you have 3250, N70, N90, etc. then download

2.6 Downloading the drivers for the cable

3. Now we start installing the programs required for flashing.

3.1 Installing the program Diego_3_06.msi

3.2 Run Crack.exe (you don't need to install it yet. Just run it) and start installing Phoenix 2004.

During the installation process, we will be pleased with an error message (Instalation cannot complete without a Dongle) We put 2 windows next to it (Error message and the Crack.exe installation window). Click Retry and at the same moment continue installing Crack.exe (replacing all files if necessary). This needs to be done very quickly. If you do not have time, then the error will come out again, if you have time, the installation will continue.

note: During installation, you may be disturbed by various windows notifying you of driver incompatibility, DESkey not fount (usually after reboot)

etc. Despite all the warnings, we continue with the installation.

3.3. At the end of the installation, a window will appear in which there will be 2 items:
1 - Add Phoenix icon to Desktop - put tick
2 - Open the log file EXT_2004.39.7.70.log (open the error log) - check the box NOT put

3.4 Restart your computer! (just click Finish, provided that there is a checkmark on the 1st item)

3.5 After rebooting, start Phoenix 2004 and immediately turn it off ( DO NOT close!) it is in this state that we start the installation:
phoenix_service_sw_2005_36_7_112.exe (for 6630, 6680/1) or phoenix_service_sw_2006_12_5_136.exe (for 3250, N70, N90, etc.)

3.6 At the end of the installation, you will be prompted to restart your computer. NO WAY case do not do this. (choose No I will restart computer later).

3.7 Installing the DKU-2 cable driver (Nokia_Conn_Cable_Driver_159_rus.msi)
Go to the folder C: Program FilesCommon FilesNokiaTssCdmaCommon (for 6630, 6680/1)
C: Program FilesCommon FilesNokiaTssFlash (for 3250, N70, N90, etc.)
Copy all files with the * .adl extension to the C: Program FilesNokiaPhoenixFlash folder, replacing duplicate files.

Bottom line: Now you got a ready-made program for flashing your smartphone, BUT! Until the first reboot. In the event of a reboot, you will have to repeat everything from point 3.5

4. Configuring the Phoenix program:

4.1 Launch Phoenix 2004, Click File => Manage Connections

4.3 Click the Add button

4.4 In the window that opens, select Manual

4.6 Select the USB item and click the Finish button.

If you have a Nokia 3230, N70, N90, etc. (Phoenix 2006) then after point 4.1 you just need to check the box next to the word USB and click Next

4.7 We connect the phone to the computer using the DKU-2 cable. The computer must detect the phone, install drivers, etc.

4.8 Click in the Phoenix program, File => Scan Product (Ctrl + R). An icon in the form of a connected cable will appear in the lower right corner.

5. Let's start flashing.
note: I recommend removing the memory card from the smartphone and formatting it (* # 7370 # or "acrobatic" method). I also recommend charging the battery.
note: Just in case, turn off the screensaver on your PC (Right click on the desktop, properties, screensaver). I also advise you to disable RAM defragmenters (if any) and other crap.

5.1 Unpack the downloaded firmware

5.2 Click in Phoenix at the top Flashing => SW Update (Firmware, Update software)

5.3 In a new window, you must select Image file - Firmware file (* .C0R)

5.4 Select PPM File - Language Pack (* .vXX, where XX is the package number.)

For 6630, 6680, 6681 The language pack file will be with the extension * .v27 (Russian)

For N70, N90, etc. the firmware file will have the extension * .C0, and the language pack * .V05
(Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian)

For Nokia3250 we register the following files:
ImageFil - RM-38Thunder_03.21_Core.fpsx
PPMFile - RM-38Thunder_03.21_Variant_05.fpsx
ContentFile - RM-38Thunder_03.21_LFFS_Image_EMEA.fpsx

5.5 We are waiting for the device data to be calculated.

Examine the work surface. Nothing should be dangling, no cats, mice, parrots, strangers, etc. should be around. etc.

5.6 Press the Start button and hold your breath.

Various information related to the process of flashing the smart will run in the program window. It is better not to touch anything during this time.

When a message appears that the phone is in Test mode, turn it on (without disconnecting from the PC) and close the message. After rebooting, you should see a message about a successful firmware update.

After flashing, the phone needs to be rebooted and formatted.
If everything went well, then I can only congratulate you
if not, if the phone is dead, then Ladofon.ru will help you.

A little about Symbian

The Symbian operating system supports the most varied requirements of the so-called network protocols and is widely used in many countries around the world. Today, the main competitors of Symbian are mobile versions of Linux and Palm OS. Recently, its competition has intensified with the Windows Mobile system, which is gaining more and more fans.

Can I install Symbian myself?

Symbian is one of those mobile operating systems that are embedded into a microcircuit directly by the manufacturer at the stage of manufacturing or. Therefore, it is impossible to install Symbian on your own in the literal sense of the word: for this you need to reflash the phone. But it is quite possible to restore Symbian in case of damage by a virus or an unexpected software failure. The owner of the phone at any time can "reset" his operating room, returning it to the default settings laid down at the manufacturing plant. To do this, turn off the phone (smartphone), and when turned on, press and hold three buttons: call acceptance ("green handset"), the key with the number 3 and the "asterisk" symbol. Immediately after turning on the phone, Symbian will revert to factory settings.

Do I need a flashing to install Symbian correctly?

If you still firmly intend to replace one version of Symbian with another or reinstall Symbian correctly on your smartphone, we advise you to think carefully before that. Any change to the firmware is considered illegal and is strictly prohibited by the manufacturer. In this case, he ceases to bear the guarantee for the device he sold and does not provide services for further service. All responsibility for the subsequent functioning of the phone, its possible breakdown is borne by its owner. Also, in no case should you install a Symbian version that was not previously installed on a particular phone. For example, Symbian 9.1 cannot be replaced by Symbian 9.4.

Good day, you want to have Symbian Anna?
Yes, in fact, it already exists and you can already download it, but this particular firmware will be a little better, because you know about the need for certificates, at least you should know what a certificate is, I think so, although I will not be lazy describe. There are times when you cannot start the game, or the program, anything can happen, but when the "Error in the certificate" is written out, this application seems to be screaming for what you need a certificate, no, of course, you can get a certificate, but it will be now not complete. This firmware has already been cracked, which means that the new update, plus everything is already cracked, and therefore does not require certificates.

This firmware is not official, but fully functional, which means that you only need to install it on your Nokia and use it.
It can be used only on the following phones: , C6-01, E7(X7 and E6 already have this firmware installed immediately, but if you wish, then everything depends only on you, our site is not responsible for this), but this particular firmware was made for Nokia N8.

At the request of Ilya Kurgashov, who has already tried the firmware on his Nokia N8, and wrote just a few words about the pros and cons of the firmware, and also described how to install the firmware on the phone. He also helped the writing of this article with information.
Cons: I personally didn't notice, maybe someone won't like the interface, but there's nothing you can do about it!
Pros: The performance has not increased directly to heavenly heights, but noticeably, the life time has also increased by about 20%;

Installing Symbian Anna:
Before installing, it is better to remove everything from the phone, or even better to make a backup copy of all files, after which it is imperative to make a hard reset (* # 7330 #).

Download these files:
Phoenix, to install the firmware on a smartphone
Symbian Anna firmware for Nokia N8

After installing the phoenix, then the firmware itself. Next, you need to restart your computer.
There are two options for installing the program:
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you need to read point 1, if not, go directly to point 2.
Paragraph 1.
Installed Phoenix can be found in Program files (x86), and the firmware itself in regular Program files. Go to C: \ Program Files \ Nokia \ Phoenix \ Products and copy the “RM-596” folder and move it to C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Nokia \ Phoenix \ Products.

Point 2.
Then what comes out is that you installed the phoenix and the firmware (moved to the folder according to point 1), uninstall OVI Suite and everything related to Nokia, for example Map loader, and so on. If you watch all installed programs through CCleaner, then only Nokia connectivity and Fleshing cable driver should be from Nokia, if they are not there, then you don't need to worry much, just reboot (applies to everyone). Then connect your phone to your computer in Suite mode. After that, wait until the computer detects some drivers, and in theory a white N8 should appear, in the taskbar (below), if it appears, then everything is fine.
Now you have to go into the phoenix itself, according to Ilya, he had an antivirus turned on, and he did not break through any warnings, but still it is better to turn it off. Well, after turning on the phoenix, press File and then select the Scan product item, an inscription with the name of the firmware designation, for example RM-569, should appear at the bottom right (maybe something else depends on the device.), And then press Fleshing -> Frimware update , in theory there is nothing there. Click on the three dots and select China_prs_dark_grey there. Then you should press Options and delete two lines that are written in red (highlight - del. (On the keyboard)). Then you agree by clicking OK, then click Referbish.

After all these actions, the installation of the firmware should begin, as Ilya said, there were no errors during the installation, and everything went very smoothly.
I remind you that Ilya Kurgashov helped write this article, who wrote the installation instructions himself from personal experience, and also described his opinion about it.

For Nokia devices running on Symbian ^ 3, 9.4 and 9.3(not all, only with the latest firmware) this the only way to hack... More precisely, he the only one only for those who did not receive a personal certificate before June 23, you can read more about the situation with the issuance of certificates in. If I have a personal certificate, we hack using the program right on your phone. For some (?) Devices working on 9.1 - 9.2 and older versions 9.3 there is a way to hack without certificates, slightly more difficult than Just HackIt !, but 100% effective when following the instructions from the description, he is described.

3. Everything!

Actually, what we need:
1.
2.
3.

Due to the unique features of these devices, and maybe the Phoenix, it is necessary to make some corrections in our actions. During the execution of point number two, in the window with additional functions and a list of components, put a tick opposite Stay in Flash Mode, otherwise follow the instructions. After the end of the firmware, as you will see the final message about successful completion, the phone will be in Flash Mode, in order to transfer it to a normal state, there are two options: in the upper right corner, where it says "Operating Mode", select Normal, or just take it out- insert the battery.

Part number zero. Preparation.
Phoenix, of course you need to install it, I wrote a little about the installation above, I will not repeat myself. The firmware is in the SFX archive, I think not everyone will understand what it is, but this is not the point, just run the exe file with the firmware, click Ok and wait for the unpacking to finish, you do not need to choose the unpacking path, the unpacker itself chooses the desired one, including on 64 bit systems. We unpack the hacking file from the zip archive to a convenient place for you, on the desktop, for example.
We take out the computer-phone cable. It is advisable to use the original cable from the kit, and not from cameras and similar devices, it is also better to forget about the USB extension cable for the duration of the firmware, otherwise there may be disastrous consequences.


Part number one. Launch and setup.
a) We are considering the case with the firmware of a fully functional phone, so we connect it to the computer in Nokia Ovi / PC Suite mode. If you connect the phone for the first time, it is better to wait until the system automatically finds and installs the necessary drivers, then you can safely launch Phoenix. After starting, the program should automatically pick up and identify the phone, in the so-called mini connection manager, which is signed with the word "Connections", this will be displayed as USB # - RM - ### (instead of # there can be any numbers), if this did not happen, then look at the screenshot below and select it manually.

b) Next, go to the horizontal menu, select File> Scan Product (you can use the Ctrl + R hotkeys), at the very bottom, in the status bar, changes should take place, information about the connected phone and Ready will appear, collecting information may take several minutes.

v) Again, hover the cursor over the menu, this time Flashing -> Update Firmware, a new small window will open. If nothing appeared opposite the Product Code, that is, the product code was not detected automatically, click a little to the right on the [...] button and select any similar product code: for example, if you are from Ukraine and you have a black phone, then select the product code with the name ukraine_black or ukr_black, but if there is nothing similar, we simply select any code, they are all included in the Russian language.


Part number two. We deal with the firmware files.
We don't go far, in the same window we press Options, we see a list of firmware components and additional options, we are working with the first one.

a) Let's start by replacing the original file with the hacked one, open it, find our model and in the column to the right we look at which file needs to be changed, select this file in the program and click Edit, opposite the path, click the already familiar button [...] and select the file with the hack, which we previously unpacked to the desktop (!).

b) It remains to delete the additional content file, otherwise you will see an error when starting the firmware. Everything is very simple here - we look at the same list of firmware components and delete the file that is highlighted in red. We delete by clicking on Delete, if anyone does not understand. If you are the owner of N73 / N82 / N95 and the like, do not forget about the addition, which is described at the beginning of the article under the spoiler, otherwise nothing will work.

Close the Firmware Update Advanced Options window by clicking on OK, return to the Firmware Update window.


Part number three. Completion.
Everything. The most difficult thing is behind us, with a slight movement of our hand we press Refurbish and see how your phone is being stitched, although there is nothing interesting about that.
If you did everything correctly, no problems and errors should arise, you will see a notification about the successful firmware.

As soon as the phone starts to turn on itself, you can disconnect the cable, close the Phoenix.

Now the phone will accept absolutely all applications, games and themes, what certificates it will forget. To gain access to system folders, you need to install and activate the Open4All patch. But this is not necessary, it all depends on your needs.

If you still have questions, and they arise, how could they not help you on the forum, you can contact people who know well, if not all, then many subtleties of the firmware individually, we have four of these in the team:, and.

Few, or even a lot of important words and advice about Phoenix to avoid silly questions.
1. The Phoenix program is completely autonomous, no Internet connection is required to work, it works with a local firmware database.
2. All instructions are equally suitable for both Windows 7 and XP and Vista, the bitness and edition of the system are also not important, everything is absolutely the same.
3. Installing Phoenix is ​​very simple. Run the installer, click Next several times and wait for the installation to complete. Everything!, there is nothing difficult and scary. And don't worry about the length of time, the setup does take quite a long time, especially on weak equipment. After installation, restart your computer.
4. It is advisable not to change the installation directory, install as suggested in!: / Program Files (x86) / Nokia. But I won't deny that everything can work without problems and from a non-standard directory, it's just that no one has yet fully experimented with this.
5. Use the current version, the use of old versions can lead to a lot of questions about the discrepancy with the description. With the release of each new version, work is carried out to correct old errors and expand the functionality, do not spare 100+ megabytes of traffic.
6. Do not be afraid to experiment within reason, turn on your head. I have only one phone, I cannot know all the possible errors and nuances that may appear during the firmware, so try to solve the problems yourself, but do not forget to share solutions with users in the comments.
7. No need to take out your USB stick and sim card before flashing. And do not worry about incoming calls and SMS, the phone will be in a special mode in which it is impossible to connect to the network.
8. If an incomprehensible error appears during startup, remove all Nokia software with the help and install Phoenix again. And remove manually the leftovers from Phoenix, this is the folder!: / Program Files / Nokia / Phoenix.
9. Format your phone before flashing not necessary... During the firmware, the phone memory (drive C) will be completely overwritten.
10. Before starting Phoenix, it is advisable to disable the antivirus, as well as programs affecting the appearance of the interface - Bins and the like.

If you haven't run away to hack in other suitable ways, which I described in the first paragraph, then let's start. The main thing is not to forget to make backups of everything you need, it will not be pleasant to lose important data such as contacts, messages and calendar. And remember, your phone will not be removed from the warranty after flashing and hacking! Even before going to the SC, you may not format your device, none of the employees will check for the presence of installserver.exe in c: / sys / bin, never.

Actually, what we need:
1. Phoenix. On the forum there is, in the header you will find a link to the current version, download it if you have not done it before. And I must say right away that it is advisable to ask all questions regarding the operation and settings of the program in the same thread on the forum, and not in the comments of the article.
2. Firmware. All firmwares are conveniently collected in one place, in a section. Be careful, if your phone was purchased not in an authorized mobile store, make sure that the RM identifier opposite the model in the list of firmware matches what is under your battery, otherwise nothing good will come of it.
3. Hack file. Here we also collected everything in one place, no need to run around the themes of the firmware of your model and look for the desired file -.

And I will not wish good luck, why do you need it? Just follow the instructions.">
